Know before you buy
While the standard LCW features a bare wood seat and back, this version includes 100% wool Kvadrat upholstery. This addition provides extra cushioning and a softer tactile experience while maintaining the chair's iconic silhouette.
The walnut plywood is engineered for both strength and flexibility, allowing the chair to move slightly with your body. It is a durable, high-quality material that develops a beautiful patina as it ages.
The LCW is designed with a low profile and a reclined posture, making it ideal for lounging or casual reading. Because it lacks traditional lumbar support, it is best suited for relaxed seating rather than upright task work.
Kvadrat wool is naturally durable and resistant to staining. For routine maintenance, simply vacuum the fabric periodically with an upholstery attachment to remove dust and debris.
Yes, this brand new Herman Miller LCW arrives fully assembled and ready for use. You can place it directly into your space without the need for tools or setup.
